Two important Green Bay Packers players have ailments that warrant watching over the next days.
Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, two sophomore wide receivers for Green Bay, reportedly missed practice on Wednesday due to hamstring problems. On Sunday, the Packers will play their first game of the year on the road against their bitter rival Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Because the discomfort from hamstring injuries frequently lasts for a long time and frequently gets worse again, they are unsettling and upsetting. with instance, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, a rookie wide receiver with the Seattle Seahawks, was only able to play in three games in his last season at Ohio State due to a lingering hamstring ailment.

Injuries are a major concern now for NFL teams at the moment
Due to a hamstring issue, the Los Angeles Rams have already ruled out star wide receiver Cooper Kupp for Sunday’s away game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.
If Watson and Doubs are both ruled out of Sunday’s game in the Windy City, Jordan Love, who is starting for the first time in his career, will be left with youngster Jayden Reed as his top pass-catcher. Allen Lazard, Green Bay’s top receiver in 2022, joined the New York Jets and finally hooked up with Aaron Rodgers.

In his first season with the Packers, the 24-year-old Watson had 41 receptions for 611 yards and seven touchdowns. With 42 catches for 425 yards and three touchdown grabs, Doubs—who the Packers selected in the fourth round of last year’s draft—exceeded expectations.
